Savinho

Would you keep Lankshear for the PL squad this coming season? And what are your thoughts on us trying to get Kroupi?

Nope. I think he is at an age where playing men’s football and developing further is really important. Last season for example he improved his work off the ball and link up play.

A top half championship team would be a good level for Lankshear next season IMO.

I like Kroupi and think he has incredible potential, but I don’t think he would play as our number 9. I think he is instead a second striker that would need to be partnered with Solanke or somebody similar.

I think Kroupi and Solanke playing for a season together could be devastating with the team we’re building, if we get Savinho or similar to complement what’s already in place.
There’s something amusing about us having the Dutch national CB pairing and also a Bournemouth CF pairing

Personally, I think Nusa has a higher ceiling than Savinho, though there is no guarantee that he fulfills that potential. What he has is lovely balance, ball control and the ability to play the game, at pace, with his head up.

Said El Malia would be my number 1 pick for a new left winger if we're prepared to take a gamble on whether a player can adapt to PL football. Gakpo would be my number 2 pick as I think we need goals from the wings and Gakpo delivers goals.

The issue with Nusa is he exclusively plays on the left. Savinho can play both sides and I think the squad needs that.

Kroupi replaced Solanke at Bournemouth - they were never at the club at the same time (6 months apart in fact)

I know. But having two ex-Bournemouth players as a formidable striking partnership is something which I think is not only possible but would be more evidence of our club being one to move to and showcase talent

I dont get this optimism about Solanke. He is a championship striker who had one season where he got 19 goals. He is never going to be prolific. His shooting, heading and positioning are all suspect.
We cant rely on him to get goals even when fit.
Forget Kroupi too and go all in for Thiago at Brentford.
